Stainless Steel Cable Ties

Eurorunner

Has anyone here used these? Just wondering if the tensioning tool is necessary or can i stick them on without? I only have 20 or so to apply - replacing nylon ones that just can't do the job.

I'd imagine that tool is just for professional use to speed up the job - and tensioning is still possible when only a few to apply right?

what is it for . would jubilee clips work?

there is a hand gun to get it properly tight i would imagine you would want to use this

I like these, sick of plastic cable ties lately. I have a gun for the plastic cable ties, but don't have one for the steal lads. Not even sure if their is one. Beat the same size plastic ones hands down

Need to use to keep fencing panels in place/not rattling in high winds. Have been using nylon ties and they work great but wear after a season.

Thanks for the offer staker but i'm in the West. Do you think I could get away with just using a pliers to tension?

Martron

i was just thinking of the same thing the other day actually to stop my fences rattling!!! ha ha

pliers might do it alright

Just ordered them up off ebay so hopefully pliers will do the trick.
